| |
Because the kbuild function if_changed writes the command line to a .cmd file for later tests, multiple calls of that function within a target would result in overwrites of previous values and effectively render the command line test meaningless, resulting in flip-flop behaviour.
Produce an error for targets with multiple calls to if_changed.
Three examples that would now be detected:
98f78525371b55ccd (x86/boot: Refuse to build with data relocations) 6a8dfe1cac5c591ae (microblaze: support U-BOOT image format) 684151a75bf25f5ae (sparc32: added U-Boot build target: uImage)
